Chapter 2360: Set on Fire

She heaved a sigh of relief and calmed herself down.
“Sulfuric acid?!” The other scoffed. “Really. Splashing you with ten bottles of sulfuric acid wouldn’t be enough to appease me!”
“P-Please… calm down…” said Lu Jingtian, though she did not know who she was really comforting at this moment, whether it was the person before her or herself!
She naively thought that there was room for negotiation since the young lady had sought her out! Based on how calmly she sat before her and exposed her identity, it seemed unlikely that she would do any risky things to her!
Besides, they were in a public place. Even though she was in a private booth on the second floor, she was sure that the other would not do anything to her with so many people present downstairs.
Keeping her emotions in check, she carefully asked, “What must I do to earn your forgiveness?”
“My forgiveness?”
Yun Na took a moment to consider this before she pulled out a box of cigarettes and took one to place between her lips. She then fished out a zippo windproof lighter and lit it up. “Hmm… Let me think about it.”
Lu Jingtian watched the woman in trepidation, staring at the cigarette in her mouth, where the end was burning, getting extinguished and lit repeatedly, then she shifted her gaze on the lighter in her hand.
The other was wearing black gloves on her hands; a long scar could be vaguely seen around her wrist. By the looks of it, the scar was made from a sort of metal hook, and that could also be why she was using gloves to hide it.
The lighter’s flickering flame reflected her currently flustered state and erratic heartbeats.
“Why don’t”—Yun Na suddenly leaned closer to her with an evil smile—”you use your looks in exchange for my forgiveness?”
“W-What… do you mean by that?” the actress asked nervously, her eyes bulging wide, only to see the other rising to her feet and seemingly making a move to leave as she fiddled with the light in her hand. Her gaze followed the leaving lady as her heart banged hard against her ribcage.
After the woman took a final drag from her cigarette, she stopped playing with the lighter and eyed the actress, saying, “Lu Jingtian, the feud between us is all cleared after tonight.”
Amid her confusion over the other’s strange words, she saw her turning to leave. However, just when she felt relieved, she saw Yun Na throw the lit lighter in her hand straight at her.
“This is payback.”
With that, the other turned around and left the booth.
She let out a shriek and instinctively reached to catch the item. Alas, the moment she did, she pulled her hands back, for she got scalded by the flame.
The lighter, thus, fell right onto her body.
The flame grew in intensity upon contact with her body, which was drenched in the unknown liquid. Before long, she was all ablaze!
“AHHHH—AHHHH!”
Once the missy snapped out of it, she immediately jumped out of her seat and tried patting down the fire with her hands. Alas, the more she did that, the bigger the fire became!
The pain of the fire consuming her skin and flesh was excruciating!
“Help! Help… Please save me… P-Please save me… Arghhhhh!”
Ignoring the person behind her, Yun Na placed the cap back on her head, stuck her hands into her hoodie’s pockets, leisurely walked down the stairs, and left the bar without a head turn.
Loud music suddenly filled the air downstairs right at that moment.
In addition, the people below were too immersed in the EDM, drinking, and flirting to notice that someone had caught fire inside one of the private booths upstairs.
